Remember how, when Windows 10 came out, that Windows 10 builds [i.e. the RTM release and all those that came out up to at least including v21H1 just recently] would have ten years of support.
Well, that was sort of true.
Windows 11 [yes – eleven] will be released this fall. Whether or not it will be designated with build v21H2 is still to come.
Come to think of it, so is much of the release.
[Oh and it is just about 10 years from Windows 10 RTM to v21H1.]
I haven’t touched it, but there has been a leak of a build [unsure if by Microsoft to get a reaction or by someone else] and so far, the consensus is that it is basically Windows 10 with a modified Start menu, changes to the various icons used [i.e. folder, My Documents, etc.], and maybe some minor stuff.
And yet there are still quite a few remnants going back even before Windows 10. There is still the MMC application. Even during the OOBE {Out of Box Experience], at least one screen goes back to Windows Vista.
Of course, this build is early. Reports of some features not correctly or at all.
I would assume the upgrade will be free. Really I would figure this release would follow then current upgrade scheduling.
Microsoft is officially announcing the release at 11 AM EST [New York or Montreal time] on June 24th. Rumor has it there will be a mock funeral for Windows 10 in the presentation.
